11:05 am
it's always retained a strong and distinct national identity something the s.n.p. movies playing on my newer and it's also. all that sound with the scottish national party is justice minister talks to arsene says scotland's oil revenues would be better spent on people but only. one of the reasons that sometimes people in scotland are skeptical about independence is that we're told. we can't manage we recognise that these are matters for negotiation with the matters that are fundamentally right to me country people. on the north we discovered oil the seed tell you something it is a scot free from the gulf of desert that has transformed the society and its economy it has billions in the bank as we've seen as we stability in the cells weapons of mass destruction and the illegal wars so it's time for us tough. the

11:09 am
a very nice thing in moscow but you also arrange the documents and other evidence around going to that sea wall so i guess i mean those of us following developments for us the interstate aviation committee has completed its report and handed it over to the polish side earlier this year but the investigation isn't actually fully completed we do know according to the russian prosecutor general that forty three case files have been handed over to the polish side eleven just last month but that still isn't the complete caseload of course concerning the investigation into the crash of the presidential plane which will help of course president former president get questions keep his wife and most of poland's political elite we know that the remains of that plane some hard sell which were also entered into evidence are also expected to be handed over to the polish side as well as a further jock humans concerning the investigations various records and transcripts
11:10 am
of records who would initially was very much against the findings of the interstate baby ation committee there was quite a big outdoor and they would now let of course by the former president's twin brother actually it was completely refused flat out to accept the findings of the interstate aviation committee which of course included that the crash was due to pilot error mr virtue ski and that many of his supporters in poland chose instead to blame russia for the crash especially russian air traffic controllers who according to some in poland should not have allowed that plane to land bought as many officials in russia and all over the world aviation expert. say that air traffic controllers simply do not have that kind of a thought. over a pilot of a presidential plane both sides working very hard to make sure that everybody is satisfied with the work that is being carried out with the progress that is taking

11:12 am
the european union also agree to tighten its sanctions raising fears that the next step could be military action well it's something russia strongly opposes citing the libyans to noriega as a failure and a little later in the program we'll be talking to more of the childhood dar. based at the israeli best as a strategic studies a little further analysis on this if you stay with us for. now a president of all make it is major billy's speech on thursday he's expected to announce american cash support for the revolutionary arab states because words are likely to be about supporting democracy but as you can report on everyone's at the fight for freedom it's washington's plan. words could be about him ocracy actions are about interests as the wildfire of public rage spread throughout the middle
11:13 am
east and north africa at the beginning of this year and only say america's foreign policy in the region has seen a major crisis this is the door he calls it formally for fifty plus years out of this country is that we try to look for somebody we would like to see in our background but washington's old policies could now be seen unfolding in libya a large portion of the libyan population is opposing any foreign meddling in their of fears and analysts say washington's efforts to propel its man into power in libya could result in infighting that's going to last years the inconsistency between what america's says and what america does seem obvious when he came to egypt in spite hosking words are three kerry and then on democratic rule washington have been supporting him for decades many of those years was with her as. a reader a counselor and a friend to the united states but when millions of egyptians took to the streets he
11:14 am
was swiftly shifted its policy as veteran washington hawks we've never seen ski explains if we conclude for example that the street is going to win there's no point of butting our head against the wall you know order to save the government it's doomed on the other hand if we are convinced that the street is going to fail there's no point in massively antagonizing the government with which we have to deal here whatever happens is over in yemen where the president is heavily backed by the west or in bahrain which hosts the major u.s. fleet washington was very careful not to undermine their leaders although they too have violently cracked down on peaceful protesters meanwhile in iraq people regularly protest against their you aspect government it what is rarely even mentioned here these. stays in saudi arabia one of the u.s. key allies in the region scores of dissidents have been arrested and the u.s. seems to be ok with all of that but one state is coming close to being on
11:15 am
washington's blacklist is syria iran's closest ally in the region there is strong condemnation of the syrian leadership and the white house source said the administration is close to declaring president assad's ruled there illegitimate action might follow syria is a much more dangerous situation than libya as far as global issues are concerned it is a crucial player in the balance of power in that region and with the situation in the middle east as unstable as it is analysts say the u.s. involvement in yet another conflict could further destabilize the region and and more red spots on this map. are t. washington d.c. . well of course but one of our top stories now events unfolding in syria and cross live to talk to multiply could data from the israel based center for
11:16 am
strategic studies which focuses on foreign policy as are many senses big here on r.c.l. syria has already said quite clearly that the sanctions won't change its approach to the uprisings so what they have any effect at all do you think. look there we heard about the sanctions. war first of all because. it doesn't have many assets in the united states of america if we can you are you know. they really care about the connection of their heads with those photos rather than the big crowds so. i don't think that there would be so much influence by those sanctions which the world today was to put on them. because the survival of them physically is much more important than any assets and they might. even in the
11:17 am
united states which i highly doubt white in the south sanctions we did a well used in the buildup of prussia at that led to interventions in both libya and in iraq previously do you think that syria could be heading that way. well the only question which is the world can maintain on syria and will war is a same question which the world maintains on your own and cannot see especially this is the only way how good it would dictate those because any other pressure which might be inflicted on syria will be diverted from the elite or the willing to leave the people and the people will suffer so if the world wants to bring some kind of remedy to syria the only thing in this stage is really to get rid of the holy trinity and the tribe of the other ways who are totally in
11:18 am
the way they behave look only this time only for all the really for the use of evil people really really deserve to be thrown to the garbage of the history well. sanctions. can and we see that they didn't work for libya want results do you see coming through military intervention. in syria no in libya military intervention in syria no no in libya yes where it happened in libya is that this they sorry do you carry on what we're talking about libya now in libya. in libya what happened is that the state is divided between two coalitions of.
11:19 am
one coalition is the coalition and the other one is those who all who oppose him and this country we never be able to be united country because if that we've really united one coalition we slaughter will be the other coalition this is if the world will be in some kind of solution plebian this is will divide libya according to some line which will leave qaddafi and his coalition to one side and those who oppose him on the other side. the oil will have to find its way out with this vision because if you milledge them together again they really fight each other until one side doesn't exist anymore. with which the world will be responsible for is it was in nigeria they are doing the ninety's so in order to prevent this the world has to divide libya to two states because the
11:20 am
situation today can be it can continue to be anywhere as it is i think now very briefly and saying focus on libya now the naysaying chief has said that the libya operation will continue until i could see the full so how does not correspond do you think the initial claims that he was not telling kids. because there are three i think he is the target i don't believe all those who say because of you personally is not a target and because of that you succeeded to make out of himself personally. it was sort of. in the world he was involved in looking down the plane about locally he was involved in look knocking down another french airliner he was involved in blowing. american this school club in believe in
11:21 am
nineteen eighty six and he was involved in killing. a british ship policeman in the street by shooting the shooting this young lady from their window of the libyan embassy in london he gained the world's hatred with justice this is why do they united these you know almost united against gadhafi personally and i do think that the world we live in be much more happy if the wall succeeds to get rid of gadhafi personally. from the israeli press a sense of prestige studies many thanks for these past responses that many thanks. ok some other world news from around the globe this hour and the head of the international monetary fund signed while being held in a tourist prison all suspicion of sexually assaulting
11:22 am
a hotel maid going to cannes is on suicide watch strongly denies the charges and will make another attempt at getting bailed out some more a little hours before he quit protesters gathered in washington to join the growing global pools for him to go. been a second day around the nato demonstrations in northern afghanistan police opened fire to disperse the demonstrators as they threw stones inside a police station a blaze the crowds were protesting against a nato overnight house raid which left four people dead. the killing of two men and see women said they were armed and fired the troops. ok crossing over to our special series in our reports from our politics sean thomas in the team traveled to the planet's continent to look into whether humans are pretty rare penguins. the penguins of antarctica truly fascinating creatures to watch but are they in
11:23 am
trouble from a man made threat. back in one thousand eighty two british pilots in the falklands discovered a phenomenon as they flew over penguin colony and they said the birds would topple over as they lifted their heads to watch the planes fly by then penguins by the thousands were left on their backs and able to write themselves but is this story true well i think it's something that's why do you know monks the public i think generally regarded it months anyone that knows anything about it as being a bit of a myth to be honest and i thought it was me. as for the second part of the tale a special person had to be employed to turn the birds right side up after they fell otherwise they would die one german ornithologist we spoke to claimed that this indeed was her drop was let out to look something like this and killed every day to see where they followed i may need to get up again and so some sense from the french heart because they don't like each much but you can but the reality thank
11:24 am
you very much further look into uncas credentials left some doubt as well as a check with the chief of russia's billings house and station a base located in a unique place between an airstrip and a penguin colony. no no we don't have anyone who does not show up here with all of the controversy surrounding this rumor we decided to go to the source itself to see what britain had to say about the airplane mess unfortunately the penguins were remaining silent on the topic but careful observation revealed that sometimes the penguins appeared to have special dances in a hurry they could be clumsy and often slipped and we even found evidence that they were highly intelligent and divisive creatures. so you were saying greens are actually very smart spirits sometimes when they come to be interviewed by issues you've been peeking over looking for leopard seals if one gets too close to another
11:25 am
penguin whoop if you mean there's a sacrifice that's a taste of your. snopes dot com an internet busting site says that a british science team actually did research to see if the claims were true they found that the penguins police scanner from the noise of the airplanes and not one single penguin had toppled backwards but with no real evidence for ourselves we decided to do a final test with a little help from the chilean air force our mission to see if we could put this myth to rest once and for all. and it suits for now to see for. himself for jobs that just couldn't exist in antarctica sean thomas. more of course on the thomases adventures and out article on our website and our con in ten minutes time that sky is a look at what the future might hold for us not a true system of thirst this hour as best as he is with katrina.

thanks ls hello and welcome to our business. prime minister through senate isn't valorous as the country's economy faces its biggest crisis in decades its national currency is in a freefall having lost over half its value this week alone russia together with its partners in the former soviet states have agreed to a three billion dollar rescue learned from minsk to discuss the issue i'm joined by lynette avoided young country analyst at i.h.s. global insight how low let's now tell me how bad is the situation and valerie. well bellers. facing a currency crisis is basically needs to get this liquidity levels up as soon as possible but it's having trouble borrowing it. national bank of decided and response to this crisis to remove exchange controls and as you said the local currency plummeted in the past ten days it has lost about two
11:27 am
thirds of its value so the crisis it seems to continue so what what happened how did how did they get to this point. what are they a multiple of factors that led to these but essentially the main problem with belorussian economy is that since the collapse of the soviet union whiles the other former soviet countries when through transition period they transition from soviet style economy to a market economy well it is sort of stuck early ages of this transition it is not a restructured it is largely state controlled. haven't been many investments. the economy's not really competitive in terms of if exports as well and essentially it's managed to survive thanks to. the russian gas exports as well as all. imports as well as oil imports so essentially
11:28 am
most. of profit i was entering the state coffers would come from the oil refining products import russian oil refining it and other products for a higher price to european countries this change after the energy war and last year who are you now that we're going to receive a three billion dollar loan from the cia it states but what good will that really do. i think it will be useful only the short term and the long term it will not be able to. basically make the necessary changes necessary changes to the economy has to be done by the political leadership and the question is rule belorussian the president and his government have the political will to go through a restructuring of the economy. thank you very much for your time the look of
